About the Author

 Introduction

Japanese cuisine includes regional and traditional food from all over Japan .
The traditional cuisine of Japan is based on rice with various soups and
many other dishes with plenty of seasonal ingredients .
Seafood is common and often prepared on a grill, but it can also be cooked
as raw like sushi . Apart from rice as the main side meal, noodles are
common too !
Japanese gastronomy is based on a combination of basic ingredients
( primarily rice and noodles ) with soups, fish, meat, vegetables and tofu
cheese .
The main spices are soya sauce, powdered ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chili ...
As for the method of cooking, the food is primarily used raw, grilled,
steamed, or cooked . The most important requirement in preparing food is
to preserve the natural characteristics of the ingredients, their appearance,
color, and taste .
Given that Japan is, you will agree, quite far away, we bring 30 delicious,
traditional, and healthy Japanese recipes - which you can make and enjoy
in your own home !
Food is always a reflection of the culture and philosophy of one nation .
Japanese cuisine is surprisingly simple, yet mysterious, like the land from
which it originates . Meet Japan and enjoy these delicious recipes !
 Explosion of Popularity !
Japanese cuisine has experienced a real explosion of popularity, due to the
urge to try something new and exotic, and because of the fact that the
Japanese culinary tradition is based on respect of nature . Therefore, it is
extremely healthy .
When it comes to food, the Japanese are one of the most enthusiastic and
passionate people . Their food is often one of the main motivations to
travel through their own country .
For this reason, many smaller and larger cities in Japan are primarily
famous for their local specialty . Food is a form of art, and often even the
simplest dishes are prepared by chefs, who have been trained for years .
Japan is very proud of its four distinct seasons and at any time marks the
beginning of even more delicious tastes . This can be seen in stores, hotels,
and restaurants - where menus often change to show what is available and
what's new in the season .
The Japanese people consume much more fish than the average person in
the Western countries, and that is a major factor in the relatively low rate of
heart disease in this country . Seafood is eaten in almost every imaginable
form, from raw sushi and sashimi, to grilled or cooked fish .

 Natural Aphrodisiac !
Some Japanese foods can also be used as natural aphrodisiacs !
Above all there is sushi . The secret lies in the fact that the fish abounds
with nutritious ingredients, but also in sushi spices - marinated ginger has
a unique, aromatic taste, and smell . According to some studies, it improves
circulation, cleanses the blood and gives a fresh breath .
It is especially effective for green pastes that re - assemble flavors . A few
crumbs of this addition to sushi stimulates the passion, strengthens the
circulation, and awakens the senses . In addition, one of the possible
additives is caviar, which contains a variety of nutrients, vitamins, acids,
and phosphorus . Of course, quality white wine or vodka will enhance
these effects !
What you probably didn ’ t know, is that one of the ways of serving and
presenting sushi is on naked bodies . So, one of the ideas for serving is to
put sushi on the loving person ’ s body . The combination of food, body,
light candles, and light music can do miracles !

 About the Author

April Blomgren
Hello everyone ! Are you ready to grill tonight? My name is April and I
love to cook and entertain friends and family almost every weekend . If
you share my passion for great food, easy preparation time but
mouthwatering results, you and I are going to get along just fine !
I think a successful meal among loved ones is based on a few key factors :
fresh ingredients and appropriate cooking method . Some meats for
example, can truly benefit from being marinated overnight, and will be at
their best prepared on the grill . Another aspect of cooking I must insist
on, no matter what your cooking style is : rely on the use of herbs and
spices . Please favor fresh herbs each time you can . However, I
understand that it may be difficult during certain periods of the year, so
simply keep a well - stocked pantry of dried basic herbs and spices such as
cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, oregano, thyme or any other favorites .
Finally, once you embark that exciting culinary journey with me, you will
realize that simplicity is also one of my allied . Don ’ t overthink when
cooking . Inspire yourself of recipes, have fun doing it and taste as you
go . Sure, you might once in a while burn a few pork chops or use too
much salt in your sauce, you are just human . Cooking is not about
succeeding every time, it is about the opportunity to learn and get better .
Don ’ t be afraid to taste your dishes along the way, adjust the seasonings
and serve accordingly .
